I'm not even sure if it's actually out yet but I thought I'd see if anyone has heard it. I recently ponnied up the money for a Manley Vari-Mu and although I hope the Fairchild rocks I sure would be bumming if it makes my Manley look like a stupid purchase. I do love some of the other UAD plugs I have - especially the Cambridge, Dreamverb, Pultec, LA2A and 1176.
